Editing Motion capture (section)

=== Stretch sensors ===
Stretch sensors are flexible parallel plate capacitors that measure either stretch, bend, shear, or pressure and are typically produced from silicone. When the sensor stretches or squeezes its capacitance value changes. This data can be transmitted via Bluetooth or direct input and used to detect minute changes in body motion. Stretch sensors are unaffected by magnetic interference and are free from occlusion. The stretchable nature of the sensors also means they do not suffer from positional drift, which is common with inertial systems. Stretchable sensors, on the other hands, due to the material properties of their substrates and conducting materials, suffer from relatively low [[signal-to-noise ratio]], requiring [[Filter (software)|filtering]] or [[machine learning]] to make them usable for motion capture. These solutions result in higher [[Latency (engineering)|latency]] when compared to alternative sensors.
